A City That Speaks Spanish Creole

Zamboanga speaks Chavacano, a Spanish-based creole with around a million speakers — the only Spanish creole in Asia, and one of very few surviving anywhere. It formed around the Spanish garrison at Fort Pilar from 1635.

The clock: Zamboanga keeps UTC+8 and its vinta sailboats, with striped triangular sails, race each October during the Hermosa festival.
